Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     On May 28, 2009, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Exterran Holdings, Inc. increased the size of the Board from 10 to 11 directors and appointed Mark A. McCollum, 50, as a director. Mr. McCollum has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Halliburton Company (an energy services company, including well construction, well completion and enhancement, and reservoir engineering) since December 2007 and as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer since August 2003. Previously, Mr. McCollum served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Tenneco Automotive, Inc. (a supplier of ride control, emissions control and elastomer products) from April 1998 to August 2003. Mr. McCollum served as a director of Exterran GP LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary and the managing general partner of Exterran Partners, L.P., from October 2006 until immediately prior to his appointment to the Board.

     The Board determined that Mr. McCollum is independent under applicable laws, regulations, our Corporate Governance Principles and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. There is no arrangement between Mr. McCollum and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as a director. There are no relationships between Mr. McCollum and us that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

     In connection with his appointment as director, on May 28, 2009 the Board approved a grant of 8,119 shares of restricted stock to Mr. McCollum under our Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted stock will vest on each anniversary date of the grant at the rate of one-third per year over a three-year period. Mr. McCollum will receive compensation for his service as a director consistent with that provided to our other non-employee directors, as previously disclosed in our annual proxy statement, and will be eligible to participate in our Directors’ Stock and Deferral Plan. The terms of our Directors’ Stock and Deferral Plan are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.16 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 23, 2007.
